[Oberst]

Axis turn 12

Battle HQ N of Minsk:

Interogations of captured Soviets has revealed elements of the 25th & 32nd Tank Br with various support elements facing us. With thick forests limiting LOS strict caution and enhanced scouting and observation are required. Two plts of T34-M41's replaced the earlier T34-M43 plt and these where engaged by several plts of Panthers & Mark IV's. One tank was definitely destroyed with the remainder of that plt being driven off. One plt remains. Will the Soviet commander sacrifice them also? An SMG plt pushed forward onto an area of broken rock outcroppings but where driven back by accurate and heavy fire from several Tigers. Numerous casualties where observed. Elsewhere our units continue to slowly advance towards the Soviet objective of Vyshkove.
